USA Today Top Workplaces Winner 2024 & 2025 — still no bribes were involved (unless caffeine, snacks, and mutual respect count).

Let’s be real — you didn’t become a COTA just to count reps and battle paperwork. You’re here to help people live better, safer, more independent lives.

At Visiting Rehab and Nursing Services (VRNS),
we’re clinician-owned
, which means the people running the show actually understand what it’s like in the field. No micromanaging. No mysterious mileage math. No productivity guilt trips. Just real support, flexible schedules, and a team that has your back.

We’re growing (on purpose), and we’re looking for a Per Diem COTA in the Ware residential area of MA who wants meaningful work without burning out.

• Competitive Per-Visit Pay: $37–$40 per visit — because “just assisting” is actually doing a lot.
• Flexible Scheduling:
  Mornings, afternoons, or that perfect in-between window — you choose.
• Benefits That Actually Help:
  Dental and vision — because adulthood is rude to your wallet.
• Mileage Reimbursement: $0.62/mile — your car deserves respect too.
• Professional Development:
  Learn, grow, and stay sharp without the boring, awkward training vibes.

• Providing in-home OT treatments under the guidance of a licensed OT (no trust falls, we promise).
• Tracking progress, adapting plans, and helping patients crush everyday goals.
• Teaching patients and caregivers how to safely do the things that matter — from getting dressed to conquering the microwave.
• Documenting clearly and efficiently in a user-friendly EMR that won’t ruin your night.
• Delivering care that’s hands-on, heart-forward, and never boring.

We don’t overload you with visits or bury you in bureaucracy.

We partner with specialized programs like the ABI Waiver, which means steady, consistent caseloads — plus the flexibility to still have a life. And when you need support? A real human answers the phone.
